Rule Number One

Always keep it pointed down!

When you are in the hospital they give you an overload of information on how to take care of your baby. The purpose of this information is to make you feel stupid after you leave the hospital :-). They give you all this information shortly after the baby is born when the mother is exhausted and on pain meds and the father is exhausted from making telephone calls and celebrating the birth of his first son. So you retain about .1% of everything they tell you. You always remember them mentioning something after you have already made the mistake they told you to avoid. One such case is when we picked up Isaac after a nap to find that his clothes and bedsheet was drenched in urine. When we removed his diaper it was bone dry. It was then that it struck us like a bolt of lightening. We had forgot to point his dandy doodle down when we put on his diaper. So instead of peeing into the diaper he peed up his stomach and onto all his clothes. So this is a first warning to all future parents out there, remember to point it down when putting on a diaper.
